<biogHist>
<abstract>John Bromly was a leader in Australia's gas industry. He worked for 34 years with AlintaGas, retiring in 2001 as Principal Scientist in the Western Australian Gas Laboratory. Much of his research focused on carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides produced by gas appliances. He was leader of an industry study that identified methods to reduce significantly emissions from space heaters. Principles discovered during this research have been widely applied by manufacturers to reduce levels of nitrogen oxides in burners. In retirement Bromly undertook consulting work for the Western Australian Government and continued his research at Curtin University. He published a number of papers, principally in combustion science.</abstract>
